OYSTER-PAIL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July '7, 1908.

Application filed November 30, 1907. Serial No. 404,623.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM IIEYsER, of the cityof Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Im rovements in Oyster-Fails, of which the fo owing is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in the refrigerator oyster ail shown and described in Letters Patent l o. 836,499, granted to me on the 20th day of November 1906, to which reference should be made.

The present invention as hereinafter described, is for the urpose of making the patented pail availalile when pails of large size are employed, and where the insertion of the ice chamber into a deep body of oysters which offers considerable resistance to such insertion, would result in the injury to the oysters; and it makes it possible to fill the pail with oysters after the application of the ice chamber to the pail, and if preferred, after the said chamber has been supplied With ice.

In the description of the said invention which follows, reference is made to the accompanyin drawing forming a part hereof and 1n whic Figure 1 is a vertical section of the improved refrigerator pail, and Fig. 2 a to view of the pail with the lid thereof remove Referring now to the drawing, 1 represents 4 the Wood pail or bucket, and 2 the lid thereof.

3 is the sheet-metal ice chamber shown as rectangular in cross section. The ice chamber 3 is provided with a flange a which serves as a cover for the oysters which are contained in the pail exteriorly of the ice chamber, and its edge or circumference which is offset, rests on the shoulder l) of the bucket. The lid 2/is ultimately fastened by the bar c which is hinged at one end to the pail and at the other end held in place by a staple e, over which it passes, and a latch f.

v 5, 5 are ins, preferably four in number, secured to t e inner surface of the pail near its upper edge, with their ends extending vprevent access to the oysters during shipment.

Adjacent to one of the ins 5 the flange of the ice chamberv is provlded with a filling aperture 1() through which the oysters are poured into the pail; and 12 is a hinged lid adapted to cover the said aperture.

To provide for fastening the lid 12 when closed, and by the same a pliances as are used to secure the ice chamlier in place, the lid 12, or an extension h thereof, is perfo rated so as to fit over the adjacent pin 5, and in consequence, the wire 7 not only prevents the unauthorized removal of the ice chamber, butrenders access to the oysters by way of the aperture 10 impossible without cutting the wire, or tampering with the seal 9.

rom the foregoing description it will a pear that the ice chamber 1s placed in tlife pail before the oysters which are poured into the pail through the aperture 10.

I claim as my invention In an oyster pail having an ice chamber with a flange which serves as a cover for the oysters in the pail, the said chamber being prevented from unauthorized removal by means of perforated pins attached to the ail underneath the flange of the ice cham er, and which extend through the flange, and a Wire which is passed through the perforated pins and has its ends secured together, the said flange of the ice-chamber having a filling aperture and a hinged lid Jfor the same, which lid is perforated to fit over one of the said pins and is secured by the said wire, substantially as, and for the ur ose s eoified.

IL IA IIEYSER.
